Just curious. Does anyone use their local library?

[Marty]

My wife works at the local library so I don't have a choice ;) She's bulked up the PNR and UF sections considerable since she started working there so they have a selection that comes close to rivaling the New Release shelf at bookstores.

Lucky! Ours isn't for a few weeks. The sad part for me is that (apparently) no one in my town reads UF,lol. I can never find any good titles!

[Susan]

I use my library sometimes but I do buy a lot of books myself.

I dont visit my local library but i visit others ones....

Lol. Me too. My designated library isn't nearly as good as the one in the town right next to mine. Also, the adjacent town's library is actually closer to me, so I use it instead.

Yes I do, borrowing books - sometimes for my wife's local book club - occasionally DVD's, using the free terminals, and... buying recycling bags! I also use the reference library for research work for my own writing.

[Jai]

All of the time!

I use my library all the time....especially since I work there! ;)

[Elizabeth]

I use to. I'm no longer physically able, so I get my books from Amazon. But I think it is vital that we keep a strong library system in our country.

[K.D.]

Regularly.

[Sandra]

I used to quite frequently, it's how I first got into the Outlander series. There were already 4 or 5 books out at the time (maybe 6) and I read one after the other until I had to start waiting for the newest release.

I havent checked out a book or read a book from a library in years, but i do go there frequently with my tablet to read. I just love being surrounded by books and their smell while i read.

[Rose]

Yup! Currently 8 books checked out (6 ebooks & 2 audiobooks). Just downloaded "The Fate of Ten" which I get to keep for 21 days!

[BookPusher D]

I frequent 5 local libraries and use the eShelves. They are my favorite spots to hang out. Better than a coffee shop! Most of them have little cafés.. so best of both worlds.

[Michelle]

CONSTANTLY. I rarely buy books.

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

I love my local library but don't use it much at all - I don't like checking out books! I have over 1,600 at home waiting to be read, so no need to check out books.

However, I do like shopping there in the friends of the library used books sales.

[Jule]

love the local library. I can see if there are any new releases I want or recommended reads . I can reserve them from my tablet to be collected and even get an e-mail to tell me when there ready for collection.
love my kindle too.

[These Violent Delights]

All my local libraries either moved or closed. :'( I wish I could go to a library like every day.

When I go to college, I will. There's a giant library right by it.

[Veronica]

I use my local library for my 7 year old kid. I don't want to spend a ton of money on books that he might only read once. Plus they have French books. :)

[Cindi]

I pretty much exclusively use the library for my reading habit. I can't afford myself!

[Rachel]

Love my library!

I borrow books, music, DVD's... Currently owe a small fine, but don't tell 'em, ok?

; )

I have a hard time passing up used book sales. ☺

[Paris (kerbytejas)]

i use overdrive heavily from two library systems - happy to not have to pay for audiobooks and ebooks if i don't have to

[sam]

I use my library all the time. Not for ebooks but for real paper and ink books. Call me oldfashon but i always preferred actual books.

[Alicia]

I never used a library except for school assignments. I usually only visit my library's "swap" shelf to gain new books for free. Typically though I buy.

[Mina]

My library is my second home, and I usually pick up the books by big name authors there, really nice when I can read brand new hardback releases. However, I don't find a lot of my favorite indie authors at the library and so buy them. Other reasons I'll buy a book: a) I want to add it to my keeper shelf or, b) I want to support the author. :)

I love my library...regular books, audio-books, dvds. I am streaming an audio book as I type from the downloadable section. Luv it. I just download some music from the service they offer...very cool. I still have my audible account and pay Amazon a ton of money each month. So many books so little time...

Debi, do you buy individually from Amazon or are you using Prime or Unlimited? I tried Prime but could hardly find any books I liked that could be checked out, and its only 1 book per month!!!
